Empty Fortifications

Teaching set

Observed lessons

Keep observations on enemy fortifications to know how many people are
there and what is going on.

Watch wildlife. Birds, especially will take off en masse if they are
startled. This can be seen from some distance away.

Discussion

In business, it is often a good idea to keep eyes on competitors to see what
you can learn about what they are doing. Just sitting outside their gates and
watching the comings and goings can tell you how active they are. For example
you might notice whether employees arrive early and stay late, or whether they dribble in and leave all
around the same time.
